Hello there!

Friday again. I really did
not intend to post on Fridays only, but I was kind of busy this week
- in my studio (and at work, and managing the household, etc.)!

I think I already
told you, these powdery, delicate colours were quite inspiring. They
are indeed! Though I already have the mental picture of some other
cushions, I made a wreath for a change. Never made one before.

Months ago I bought
a polystyrene ring. Lacking any inspiration
at the time, I just put it away – till Monday.

It took me two days
and one complete ball of wool to have it covered. It did take me this
long because I could not stop me from crocheting some flowers and
leaves in between. I found some in Suzann Thompson's book “Crochet
Bouquet” and in Lesley Standfield's “100 Flowers to Knit &
Crochet”.

On Wednesday evening
I knew the wreath would become rather dull if put together with
nothing but flowers and leaves. There had to be something special
too!

I did search the internet,
but at the end I just tried something...

and the result was not all that
bad...

It's a kind of bird (of
unknown origin) and I named it Edgar (which is slightly better than
Gunther – the choice of my son).

Yesterday I arranged Edgar
amidst the flowers and leaves and now the wreath is completed with
the little plate. Ta-Dah!

About me / Über mich

English:My name is Marjan. I was born in Belgium in 1970. I moved to Germany in the early nineties for love's sake. Even though I got fairly disappointed some years later I never considered returning home as my children were born here in Germany. Fortunately I never did, since I never would have met my wonderful second husband. Read more here.
